Overview

Excerpt from Lecture Delivered Before a Meeting: Of the Literary Circle; Of the Shanghai Zionist Association The history of the Jewish race serves to recall into one's minds, the miraculous manner in which they preserved their religion and identity unchanged from gene ration to generation unto this day. The records from the earliest times afford a marvellous picture to those unbiased thinkers, who wish to know, the why and wherefore, of the preservation of the race in the face of unspeakable horrors and persecutions. One of the chief factors, which greatly contributed to keep the race from despair into which it might other-wise have fallen, was the traditional hope of re-gaining once more their lost prestige in the eyes of the nations, through the instrumentality of one who is to be from Davidic descent and who Will play the rele of a redeemer and sawour. This cardinal hope of the Jew bed and nurtured from his boyhood, is one that is calculated to draw our attention to the great idle that the belief in the coming of the Messiah has exercised in the minds of the followers of Judaism. It, however, clearly illustrates the deep yearning of the mind of man to free himself from the fetters of slavery and persecution, and to realise once more the restoration of the Judaic nation into her former height and glory. The idea of one coming to redeem Israel from her yoke of captivity was cherished, and continues to be cherished to this day.
